The September-December class schedule is finally on the website! We promise you that it was well worth the wait!   We have four new teachers onboard with several fun new classes! 
 
School has started or will be starting in the next few weeks.  Hopefully that means you'll have a more structured schedule and therefore more time to quilt!  Schedule in those sewing minutes!  You'll feel more relaxed and ready to face your days....and you may even be able to get a few gifts ready for the Holidays!
 
Due to the Granary Getaway next Sunday (8/29) Sunday Sewcial will take place tomorrow (8/22) and the shop will be open from 10-4.  As an added bonus the shop will be open Sunday August 29 from 10am-4pm!  Check out all the new classes on line then stop by to sign up!

We have so many fun programs planned for the Fall that we thought we'd give you a newsletter preview!
  

Basket of the MonthBasket of the Month Series: The Fold Flat Basket-of-the-Month Series by Quilter by Night Designs brings you an inspiring, unique project for each month of the year. These clever baskets all fold flat for easy storage. Carol will guide you through each month's project and share all her time-saving tips and tricks. Carol will present each basket one month before the holiday for which the basket is meant to be used so it can be finished in plenty of time!

 

 

Susan's "Of The Month" Project: If you enjoyed any of our previous "of-the-A Bloomin Dozenmonth" projects (potholder of the month, table topper of the month, Bee Industrious, Happy Halloween), our new program should be right up your alley! Susan has selected a very cute pattern from Bloomin' Minds called A Bloomin' Dozen, which features thirteen 12" blocks to be used for small quilts and pillows. Here's how it works-you purchase your pattern which contains all 13 blocks, and on the first of each month we'll reveal our shop sample and have a kit with just enough fabric for that month's block ready for you to pick up. The program begins October 1, but you can sign up any time before January 1 in order to receive the prior months' kits. If you keep up with the program and make just one simple, small block each month, you will have 13 adorable, themed blocks completed. Your blocks can hang as individual small wall quilts, you could make cute little seasonal pillows or you could assemble all the blocks together with sashing and borders for a "Happy Anytime" wall quilt! Stop by or call today to sign up!

Sara Diepersloot has joined the Granary's teaching staff and is offering several new classes based on projects from her book Simple Style from That Patchwork Place.  Welcome Sara!
 
More fun is coming......
